The Art of Preserving All Kinds of Animal and Vegetable Substances for Several Years, 2nd ed

The Art of Preserving All Kinds of Animal and Vegetable Substances for Several Years, 2nd ed. - A work published by the order of the French minister of the interior, on the report of the Board of arts and manufactures

In an advertisement prefixed to the pamphlet, of which the following sheets are a translation, the author publishes his address: Quai Napolon, au coin de la rue de la Colombe, No. 4, dans la Cit, Paris; and offers for sale there, an assortment of provisions, preserved by the process, of which an account is here[x] communicated to the public. As the book itself is a recommendation of the authors own goods, it has been thought proper to add to his account of his process, a translation of the authorities and testimonies by which his own statements are authenticated; notwithstanding the repetitions which are in consequence admitted. The recommendation of the process by the French Minister immediately follows. The more elaborate Report of the Paris Society for the[xi] Encouragement of National Industry, will be found at the end of the work. It is needless to anticipate the authors display of the advantages which must flow from a simple and unexpensive process of keeping fresh articles of animal and vegetable food. If this can be effected for only one year, that is, from the season of produce through the seasons of scarcity; if no other articles, for instance, than eggs, cream, and vegetables, can be[xii] preserved in their full flavour and excellence during a long winter, there is not a mistress of a family in the kingdom, rich enough to lay by a stock of those articles, and not too rich to despise the economy of a family, who will not find herself benefitted by the perusal of the small work here put within her reach; and there is no reason to suspect the correctness of this part of the authors statements. This, however, is but one of the more obvious benefits of[xiii] his process; and if thus much be ascertained, then an interminable prospect of resources is opened, which the State, still more than the individual, will be called upon to employ. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
